THE BEST JEWELRY ON NEW YORK FASHION WEEK

With the London Fashion Week taking place as we speak, follow along for the best jewelry pieces spotted at the Fall 2017 collections during the New York Fashion Week last week.

From arm cuffs to statement earrings, there was an element of social and political consciousness running through the various shows.Graphic tees with sayings such as “People are People” (at Christian Siriano), “Be the change you wish to see in the world” (at Alice & Olivia), “Make America New York” (at Public School) and “We will not be silenced” (at Prabal Gurung), as well as feminism quotes were proving that fashion is a powerful mean of expression.

Some designers infused their collections with fresh takes on women’s suits in a push for gender equality. Others rallied for resistance with militancy undertones and dark palettes. But what grabbed our attention, was the use of jewelry to convey these messages.

'NYFW was a master class in how to accessorise.'

Everything old is new again! This time, it’s a touch of grunge with a breath of ’90s minimalism. Crystals, chains and details gave dimension to garments, especially when mixed or layered.

Florals blossomed, on looks by Marchesa, Coach, Badgley Mischka, Delpozo and Dennis Basso, while gold jewelry kissed clothes with a hint of spring.

Here’s a roundup of some of the top jewelry trends spotted throughout the week:

TORY BURCH

Tory Burch created a costume version of classic cluster earrings, decorated with crystal and Swarovski (Read our guide on Swarovski crystals).

RALPH LAUREN

His looks were loose, relaxed and shimmery! Silky gold dresses, creamy beige jackets, billowy blouses and gold pants made for the dance floor.

'Shoes and accessories appeared as animal prints.'

Ralph Lauren combined his cutout dresses and silky gowns with gold and bronze jewelry, with an ancient touch. Get the same look and feel with the Yellow Gold Plated Sterling Silver jewelry of our Greek Allure collection.

OSCAR DE LA RENTA

A ruffled white shirt opened the show, draped over black trousers with black-and-white-striped heels. The runway turned to a version of a power work wardrobe: more ruffled white shirts, gray dress suits, and then jackets lined with fluffy white fur.

'Hair was pulled back in sleek ponytails, faces were fresh and earrings long and bold!!!'

PRABAL GURUNG

The paint dipped silver sculptural earrings at Prabal Gurung were an artful and bold accent to the striking show.

'Girls rule. They can be tough, tender, and everything in between, but their accessories will always be edgy! '
